One of the lads I work with text me this morning to say he has 4 symptoms of it and has been advised not to go into work, and go on antibiotics for a week. Lynnie has virtually all the symptoms of it, and I currently have 3 symptoms, but I've had them for ages and highly doubt I have pig flu. With a little over a week till our wedding and honeymoon there is no chance I'm letting my body succumb to illness now, it can sod off

Discovered its likely the doctor who comes into work for the residents has bought H1N1 with him on wednesday - his son has it (properly swab confirmed) and so of course he has been looking after him. He mentioned he had a sore throat and now the nurse who did the round with him also has one ...

Further to my post above, when work found out my work mate had been diagnosed with Swine Flu, and I have 4 symptoms, I was sent home as well! Did the NHS online test thingymabob, and I've been prescribed Tamiflu as well and advised to stay home for 5-7 days. I don't feel that bad to be honest (just a bit headachey, achey and I've got a bad tummy) but work obviously feels it's better to be safe than sorry.

I think thats swine flu but they won't test now, well apart from few cases.
I was just wondering as I don't think antibiotics will do much will it? My friends son had blisters all over his throat and he was really poorly but they just said virus and gave him anti biotics, it helped blisters but did nothing to help flu symptoms, her other son was ill like that too. they hand out tamiflu to everyone with a couple of symtoms now it seems as people aren't allowed out and doctors do it all over phone and prescribe tamiflu. guess its a good job you can't get high on the stuff as people will be selling it on the street!!!

The blisters in the throat sounds like Strep throat, caused by Streptococcus sp. antibiotics would work against that as it's a bacteria.

Quite a few people have reported feeling far worse after the Tamiflu. Approach with caution I say.
Lom : I had bacterial tonsillitis - pustules all over my throat and that was treated with anti-b's too. Saying that though, so was the 'infection' I had in my cheek last year - 4 different types of antibiotic - none of which worked because guess what? It wasn't a bloody infection.

I wish they'd stop calling it "swine flu" and just all it flu. It's getting ridiculous now :/ Loading yourself up on pill to get rid of a cold is also daft IMO - wait it out, much better. Your body can take care of itself. Loading yourself up with pill and dodgy crap is not the way to go.
